Do we need to sign up or is it a walk in type class. My wife and I want to attend.

Actually no we are not asking people to sign up this year. We plan on taking all comers. Show up is all you have to do. We'll see how it works. if we have more then 50 we might have to hold it in the parking lot but we will make it work somehow.

December 3rd. 9 am. Just show up, maybe bring a pencil. Should be a fun day.

Hi :hello: Bango Skank,
It looks like your up in Colville. It that right?
Contact George Brady maybe he has someone in your area or maybe you can run over to his area and he can put on a class. If he doesn't have anything or anybody, there is a guy over in Athol Idaho that will put on a class in the Spokane area if there are a few people interested. One person is pretty hard to put a class together at this time of the year. We also have a Instructor in Moses Lake and Yakima and we have a guy in Richland. Let me know if George can't help you, I'll see what I can do for you is anything.

This sounds interesting depending on what dates. I could play spend time between Spokane and North of Kettle Falls
-
Will the test also be given and taken at this one day class?

Yes

Bump for a reminder. Does the class cover both WCO and NWCO? Please forgive my ignorance!

Does not cover WCO class. Only WDFW gives that. Our class and a trapping license is a prerequisite to the WCO class though.

I've been wanting to take this class for a few yrs now, and this year I'm finally able to make it-I'm stoked can't wait!
-
@bango skank I think there is a tester in the Newport area. I believe @kfhunter has his info. I have a book if you need one( online pdf is out dated). Also I know several people around here that would be very interested in a class in Spokane area
-
Yeah I'm up north of Colville and would love to take the class too. That'd be awesome to have one put on up here! Hope you all have fun and learn a lot at this class!
-
On lunch break waiting for skinning/setting traps. Thanks to everyone for putting this on. You folks (and Cabela's) have been fantastic!

Thank you to everyone who made the trip to Cabelas for the class today. The Spokane folks are probably getting home now. It was a really fun class and it's so good to see a great batch of new trappers out there. I missed most of the skinning and set making demos because it took a while to fill out paperwork for 70 new trappers. That's right...70! Welcome to the club.

Boy it was a nice and "full class."
Karen and Bruce did a great job.
Doug and I help but Karen had it under control. :tup:
That size class needed four people to put it together.
We need more Instructors throughout the state, so if your interested in become one, contact George.
Here are a couple pictures of what it looked like.
1st is the class room and we had standing room only that is how many were there. There was people standing to the right side out of the picture.
2nd picture is of Bruce outside doing a trapping demo while Karen corrected the trappers test. The crowd was as big as some of the summer Rendezvous Demo's.
The newsletter will be out by the end of December with some more pictures of the class and a few comments about it.
